Gluten Free: Green Bean Pasta with Pan-seared Scallops

I couldn’t resist the green beans at the market the other day. They were too fresh for words and I love the crunch of them. It reminded me of the Szechuan spicy green beans we used to make before we were married. Just the right mix of crunch and zip to make your mouth come alive.

I wasn’t quite in the mood for that, so I made this garlicy pasta and green beans while my love pan-seared some scallops. Between the two of us we made the best sunny afternoon lunch… and then the sun went away. Phew. Good thing we munched it all in time before it got too chilly to sit on the deck any longer.
